19 locations will carry dune 3 70mm imax tickets, the new teaser trailer announced, with each purchase including a limited-edition collectible filmstrip while supplies last and the list of sites shown at the trailer's end; the availability concentrates the highest-quality exhibition among collectors and consumers ahead of the film's December 18 release.
IMAX 70mm 19 Locations
25 seconds is the runtime of the new teaser, which announced the offering and visually closed with the list of theatres showing the 70mm presentations, and the trailer states, "IMAX 70mm tickets are officially on sale" — a direct ticket-market signal that shifts premium-screen demand toward that short roster of venues.
Denis Villeneuve, Timothée Chalamet
65mm film stock was the primary capture format for the production, a technical choice Denis Villeneuve and the team reported that underpins why the limited IMAX 70mm presentations matter to viewers; Timothée Chalamet reprises Paul Atreides in the film, which adapts Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah and shows Paul unleashing battle forces in the new teaser.

65mm and 15/70mm Cameras
15/70mm IMAX film cameras and 65mm work were both used during production, the credits indicate, and those camera formats explain the decision to route only select screenings into IMAX 70mm: the format is positioned as the closest theatrical reproduction of the production negative and the limited run plus the included collectible filmstrip will likely concentrate demand among collectors and high-end exhibition seekers.
December 18 is the theatrical release date for Dune: Part Three, so consumers seeking the IMAX 70mm presentation and the limited filmstrip should watch the teaser's end to identify the specific venues and secure tickets now, knowing that the 70mm option is limited to the list shown in the trailer and accompanies the film's opening weekend run.
